Rollup Solar Screens
You purchase a home with beautiful, large windows only to find the sunlight is blinding during the day and turns the home into an oven. Rollup solar screens can be used to overcome this problem.
Rollup Solar Screens
If you’ve ever doubted the power of the sun, the glare and heat generated in a home with large windows will change your mind. Boiled down to its basic elements, the sun is a nuclear reactor that sends more energy in the form of sunlight to the earth in one day than the entire world uses in one year. Without solar screens, the sun can practically turn your house into a nuclear reactor!

Rollup solar screens come in a variety of forms, but have a few common characteristics. Regardless of the type, solar screens act as a semi-translucent barrier to greatly filter the amount of light and heat generated by the sunlight. Depending upon your needs, this filtering process can be tailored to completely block the sunlight [a dark room] or filter it to allow for a more reasonable amount of light and heat in the room. Put in more simple terms, solar screens act as sunglasses for your windows.
A standard solar screen system is going to have an automated method of raising and lowering the screens from the inside of the home. If you are looking at a system that requires manual raising and lowering, skip it. It will become a pain in the derriere to have to do so every day, particularly if you have numerous screens.
Most screens come in standard sizes, but can be custom built to the particular dimensions of your windows. When ordering the screens, it is critical that you understand how the company is sizing the screens. Are the measuring from the inside border of the window or from the outside of the window frame? Nothing is worse than getting your solar screens and finding they don’t fit.

You can install the screens yourself, but more and more manufacturers are requiring professional installation. In our experience, using a contractor is best unless you have previous experience with such systems. The installation seems simple, but can be frustrating in the details. Most manufacturers also require profession installation as part of the warranty for the system.
Rollup solar screens are undisputedly the best way to put an end to the glare and heat produced by the sun in your home. You can find rollup solar screen suppliers in the top right of this page.
